Both Krystle Campbell, who died in the Boston Marathon blasts, and bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed this week in a police shootout, attended Massachusetts Bay Community College, according to an email sent today by the school's president, John O'Donnell.

"The irony that both a victim and a suspected perpetrator of this heinous crime attended our college is not lost on us," O'Donnell wrote. "It is a stark reminder that both good and evil are part of our everyday lives, everywhere."

Tsarnaev was enrolled in two evening courses during the spring 2008 semester, but withdrew from his classes three weeks later, the email said.

Campbell enrolled at MassBay in 2001 and graduated in 2005 with an associates degree in business administration, school officials said earlier this week.

"In the coming days, weeks, and months, we continue to mourn the loss of one of our graduates, marvel at the courage and expertise of our first responders and law enforcement agents, and pray for the healing of all the victims of this tragedy and their families," he wrote.
